Mogul and rapper Master
P. has launched his own distribution company, Gutter Music Records and Distribution.

distribute releases from his No Limit label.

will be donated to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort.
“Record companies are spending too much money and, as
a result, the artists are barely surviving,” says Master P. “The
whole industry is changing, radio stations are constantly firing DJ’s…
the industry is all visual now. Gutter Music will start small of then build
– the Independent way.”
The next release will be Young Ballers from Lil’
Romeo featuring The Rich Boyz, which hits stores on Nov. 22.

son Vercy Miller (Young V.) and cousins and group members C-Los, Big Doug and

the 504 Boyz and TRU were the future when I was coming up,” Master P.
said of the group.
Next through Gutter Music will be Master P.’s own Living
Legends, the follow up to his album Ghetto Bill: The Best Hustler in
the Game
.Ghetto Bill was recently released through a distribution
